Malegaon: A tactical voting by the Muslim community in Uttar Pradesh elections has not only helped Samajwadi Party (SP) to storm to power, but it also has resulted in the winning of 69 Muslim legislators. Total number of Muslim MLAs in the last assembly was 56.

Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP), which was in power in last assembly and lost this elections to SP, has a total of 16 Muslim MLAs out of 80 seats it has won.

 

The Congress party which is humiliated in the elections, has 04 Muslim MLAs. Cong and its ally RLD has together won a total of 38 seats.

 

Rest of the Muslim MLAs are from the smaller and little known Muslim parties - some of them formed barely months before the assembly elections.

 

The surprise winners among these parties are Peace Party of India. The party formed in 2008, has succeeded in winning three Muslim MLAs. Peace Party of India has surprised everyone by winning a seat in Rae Bareli - the parliamentary seat represented by Sonia Gandhi in Lok Sabha.

 

Ittehad-E-Millat Council has also been able to win one seat - from Bhojipura.

 

Uttar Pradesh has a strong Muslim presence in the entire states. Some of the constituencies have over 80% Muslim population.
